HAVE MERCY!!!!

We are half way through December, 10 days to Christmas, 16 days to 2011, and time is slipping away. It feels to me like there is so much going on and not enough time to promote things and share things...SO, I am going to point everyone to the blog site and trust the information is getting out there. Please read the following and take special note of all the upcoming events.

1. Legacy Church and Pastors Kevin and Tracie Baird are now on FACEBOOK. I realize that FB is not for everyone, but it has been a great means of communicating on a consistent basis. I also realize that technology carries with it the good and the bad. (I have heard sermons against FB already and I "get" why many pastors would feel that way.) People abuse things that I really think God meant to be a means to spread the Gospel. So, if you can't handle and protect yourself on the internet and especially FB, then you can still get your announcements weekly at Legacy. For those of you who like up to the minute reports I invite you to "like" Legacy Church and "friend" either of the Pastors. (Be sure you let them know who you are if you are not a regular attendee of the church)

2. Praise God! We, as a church, now own 4 pieces of residential property and homes in Dillon, SC. These properties were donated to us to sell and ONE of these properties has a contract on it and is headed towards closing soon. Please pray that the other 3 will sell quickly and be a blessing for both buyer and the church. These properties represent tens of thousands of dollars to develop our new land and church site south of the city. This is only the beginning of God financing His new HOUSE!

3. Christmas schedule is as follows:

Wednesday, December 22 - Candlelight Service, 6:30pm, followed by an all-church Christmas fellowship at 7:30pm (Coffee and Dessert)

No Service on Christmas Eve. (If you like those services, there are many downtown churches which do a phenomenal job that night. Expand your borders and try one.)

Offices will be closed the week of December 27-31. (There will be NO MID-WEEK SERVICE ON THAT WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 29th)

4. VERTICAL SERVICE, December 31 (FRIDAY), 7:00pm to 9:00pm. We will be:

Praising God

Worshiping

Interceding

Receiving Communion

Planting a special financial seed for 2011 (So bring a good offering to plant)

Setting the tone for a NEW YEAR!

5. NEW MEMBERS CLASSES START - January 2, 2011 (Sunday) at 9:00am in the Pastor's Office

6. THE ALL CHURCH 21-DAY FAST BEGINS MONDAY MORNING, January 3, 2011. Pastor Baird will be sharing more on this in the upcoming services.

7. NETWORK OF RELATED PASTORS (NRP) National Conference at Legacy Church, February 7-9, 2011 (Monday through Wednesday). ALL THREE NIGHT SERVICES ARE OPEN TO THE CHURCH AND TO THE PUBLIC. (To attend the conference during the day you must register at http://www.nrpastors.com and pay the registration fee.)

WOW!!!!

Lots going on and that is why I needed to get it out there and hopefully on your calendar. 2011 should be a great year and I believe it will be the year that the Lord will take us to another level and we will see promises fulfilled like never before. Link your faith with mine and let's believe that together!
